Meow Wolf Grapevine’s The Real Unreal in Texas is partnering with a local animal shelter to offer a pet adoption event.
On 22 February, Meow Wolf Grapevine and Grapevine Animal Services are hosting the Portal Pets event, where guests can meet, interact with, and adopt a dog.
“Not dream creatures or spectral anomalies – real, tail-wagging, face-licking dogs, ready to escape the mysteries of the Meow Wolf Grapevine and land in the warm embrace of a forever home,” Meow Wolf said in a press release.
Between 11am and 1pm on the day of the event, a group of dogs will be located inside the Matt King Mystery Center, each of them “hoping to step through a final portal from kennel to couch”, Meow Wolf said.
Visitors aged 18 and over can take part in on-site adoptions by completing a short questionnaire and providing a valid ID and credit card.
Adoption fees are $75 per dog, per Grapevine Animal Services.

“Meow Wolf is no stranger to the unexplained, but a sudden appearance of adoptable dogs in our mystery center might be the most delightful twist yet,” said Connor Gray, PR manager at Meow Wolf Grapevine.
“These pups are looking for their next adventure, and we hope guests will answer that call.”
Additionally, guests can visit a donation station in the lobby of The Real Unreal to support Grapevine Animal Services.
Pets are expected to be a big attractions and travel trend in the coming years, as both sectors attempt to attract animal-loving guests.
In Italy, museums such as the Uffizi Galleries in Florence and the MAXXI museum in Rome are providing a free dog-sitting service for guests.
While dog owners visit cultural institutions, minders will walk, feed and water the animals.
